Correct answer: C. Sleep and emotion
- A. Temperature
- B. Antidiuretic hormone
- C. Sleep and emotion
- D. Homeostasis
Explanation
The hypothalamus, known as the "thermoregulatory" center of the body, plays a huge role in homeostasis, maintaining a constant internal environment. Vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) determines the concentration and volume of the urine that forms in the kidneys. It is produced by the hypothalamus and is then stored in the posterior pituitary gland. Pons in the hindbrain and the limbic system are in control of sleep and emotions, respectively.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
